/ After reading the account of the Hol- brook killing, published in the Critic, in which Sheriff Owens killed two men and wounded fourteen-year old boy, the action of the Sheriff does not show any bravery whatever. If the Critics report is correct, the Sheriff killed a couple of men who were not resisting arrest.-Albuquerque Citizen.
 We were not on the ground at the time of the killing, and cannot speak by the "card," but have conversed with good many of the most prominent citizens of Holbrook, who are here in attendance on court, and they take different view of the actions of our Sheriff, from that arrived at by the Citizen from reading the account published in the Critic. One and all say that it required more cour- age than is possessed by ordinary nor tals, for man to go alone to that house and demand the surrender of Andy Cooper. His reputation as a "bad" man and desperado was such that any one attempting his arrest would natu- rally expect resistance, and that of the most stubborn character. And when the manner and the disposition which the inmates of the house made of them selves-Andy Cooper opening door in the eastern portion of the house, and John Blevins, his half-brother, at the same instant appearing at another door on the west, and only few feet distant from Cooper, thereby placing the Sheriff between them, both with guns in thelr hands, would convince the most obtuse that they meant business, and business of bloody and desperate nature. When these facts are taken into consideration, together with the fact that Andy Cooper had said, after his arrival from Tonto Basin and only few hours before the arrival of the Sheriff in Holbrook, where he had been engaged as one of the lead .ers of the Graham faction, in the bloody and desperate vendetta that is snow go- ling on in that locality, that he would not be arrested by any one in authority in Apache county-any one with or dinary sense and judgment must admit that it required courage, and courage of the very highest order, to approach house in which he kneH there was such a man, surrounded by three or four of his comrades, and demand his surren- der in the name of the law.

voluminous for our spaces, concludes as follows:
 In conclusion, we think it clear from the evidence that, during the month of March, when the snow is melting from the mountains, there is more water flowing in Rudd's creek than the plain tiff, Wm. NJ. Rudd and the intervening plaintiff, James D. Murray, can use for useful purpose; and as it is the policy of the law to allow as large distribu- tion of water, for useful purposes, as possible, without interfering with the material rights of the opposite parties, it is the judgment of the Court that, du- ring the said month of March-in fact, during all the year, except the irrigating season as hereinafter indicated the de- fendants may divert one-half the waters of Rudd's creek; to the end that they may hold the same by reservoirs, or otherwise, to be used in fructifying their crops.
 AS to the complaints of the plaintiffs, Wm. NJ. Rudd and James D. Murray, it is the further judgment and opinion of the Court, that, during the irrigating season i. e., during the months of April, May and June, the temporary injunc- tion, hereinbefore granted be, and the same is hereby made perpetual; and the defendants are hereby absolutely re- strained and perpetually enjoined from .dlverting, or in any manner interfering with the waters of said Rudd's creek, during the said months of April, May and June-either they, themselves, or by their agents, servants or employees.
 AS to the complaints of the lnterven- ing plaintiffs, James A. Rudd and Davis B. Rudd, their complaints will be dis missed-it not appearing from the evil dence that any distinct appropriation of the water of said creek was made by either of them, prior to the construc- ton of defendants ditch.
 Should any greater use of the water of said creek be attempted by the de- fendants, or other persons in their be- half, such fact may be brought to the. attention of the Court, by petition, in this case, and such relief, as may be deemed proper, be had.
 Let the judgment be entered in ac- cordance with this opinion, including judgment for costs against the defend- ants. JAMES H. WRIGHT,
 District Judge.

Deputy Sheriffs Rolf and Barr, ar- rested two men named B. w. Ward and J. D. Simmons, who were travelling through Sierra county, New Mexico, with two-horse wagon. They had scattered counterfeit gold and silver coin all over the county, and it is sup posed the spurious money has been cir culated all along the route from Albu- querque. The officers captured com plete set of counterfeiter's tools, weigh ssng about 300 pounds, including moulds, rollers. stamps, presses and dies, for United States gold and silver coin of every denomination, except the $250 gold piece. The $2O gold counterfeit is dated 1860, and large number of them have been passed throughout the coun- try. They also secured a large quantity of base coin and material for making it. The officers are entitled to great credit for their shrewdness in making this inn portant discovery and arresting the criminals.-Rio Grande Republican.
